Newsom didn't do anyone any favors by blowing up at the European leaders

[bigtree]

87. let me put it more plainly

...you lied about something you raised here, not me, about some disagreement I have with Newsom based on him being what you call a fighter.

You've made a selective representation of the word 'fighter,' in a machoistic characterization of Newsom's inartful presentation to reporters. It's something similar to what's infected politics - with projections of toughness that are more akin to television drama than the humble leadership we should expect from public servants.

Is this his only thing, his pique? Or is there something closer to actual leadership which understands how to coalesce and influence those outside of his inner circle?

You're representing his coarseness and vulgarity directed toward at Europeans as strength, but, I see it as a matter of volume and no effect. Frankly, it was embarrassing.

Where's the actual substance of what he's expecting from them, besides this nebulous jibe that supposes they're responsible for Trump?

It's the wrong fight. His concern should be in his own country, focused on the demon America foisted off on Europe's back; not blaming Europeans for that political failure of Americans.

He made an arrogant public assertion about the political affairs of countries he's in no position to know squat about, and he's lucky they mostly just ignored him.

They've been telling America that they're ready to wave us goodbye, and I'll bet there will be a lot of foot-stomping about that, as well, from the 'fighters.' Best of luck to them.
